Getting started

Remote Syslog is a free application what can be used to view syslog messages. It uses 3 small c++ programs for installation and CLI log control. Recently we added a web based GUI, this gives you a easy way of viewing and extracting syslog messages. The buildin installer installs syslog-ng as syslog deamon and combines this with colortail and apache2 to enhance the display output.

Remote Syslog is currently tested for the following vendors: Cisco, HP, Ubiquiti and F5. This test concluded a network with 400 devices with some devices in debug mode.

To do a manual installation go to the manual configuration page. This will take some extra time to configure, but it allows you to compile (rsview) and configure Remote Syslog for other distributions.
